Some pasts won’t stay forgotten . . .

She calls herself Hope Miller, but she has no idea who she actually is. Fifteen years ago, she was found in a small New Jersey town thrown from an overturned vehicle, with no clue to her identity. Doctors assumed her amnesia was a temporary side effect of her injuries, but she never regained her memory. Hope eventually started a new life with a new name in a new town that welcomed her, yet always wondered what she may have left behind—or been running from. Now, she’s leaving New Jersey to start over once again.

Manhattan defense lawyer Lindsay Kelly, Hope’s best friend and the one who found her after the accident, understands why Hope wants a new beginning. But she worries how her friend will fare in her new East Hampton home, far away from everything familiar. Lindsay’s worst fears are confirmed when she discovers Hope has vanished without a trace—the only lead a drop of blood found where she was last seen. Even more ominously, the blood matches a DNA sample with a connection to a notorious Kansas murderer.

With nowhere else to turn, Lindsay calls NYPD homicide detective Ellie Hatcher, the daughter of the cop who dedicated his life to hunting the Kansas killer. Ellie has always believed there was more to the story of her father’s death twenty years earlier—and she now fears that Hope’s recent disappearance could be related.

In pursuit of answers, the women search for the truth beneath long-buried secrets. And when their searches converge, what they find will upend everything they’ve ever known.

Детективы Элли Хэтчер и Джей Джей Роган расследуют самоубийство шестнадцатилетней школьницы Джулии Уитмайр. Обнаженная девушка в ванной, вскрытые запястья, бритва в руке… Картина ясна и нет никаких сомнений в произошедшем. Но родители Джулии так не считают. Они не верят в то, что их дочь была склонна к суициду, и полагают, что ее убили. Не убеждает их и предсмертная…

The third thrilling installment in the bestselling Under Suspicion series from #1 New York Times bestselling author and “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark and Alafair Burke—television producer Laurie Moran puts everything on the line to help a woman she thinks was wrongfully convicted of murder.

Casey Carter was convicted of murdering her fiancé—famed philanthropist Hunter Raleigh III—fifteen years ago. And Casey claims—has always claimed—she’s innocent. Although she was charged and served out her sentence in prison, she is still living “under suspicion.” She hears whispers at the grocery store. She can’t get a job. Even her own mother treats her like she’s guilty. Her story attracts the attention of Laurie Moran and the Under Suspicion news team—it’s Casey’s last chance to finally clear her name, and Laurie pledges to exonerate her.

With Alex Buckley taking a break from the show—cooling his potential romance with Laurie—Under Suspicion introduces a new on-air host named Ryan Nichols, a young legal whiz with a Harvard Law degree, Supreme Court clerkship, experience as a federal prosecutor, and regular stints on the cable news circuit. He’s got a big reputation and the attitude to match it. Ryan has no problems with steering—and stealing—the show, and even tries to stop Laurie from taking on Casey’s case because he’s so certain she’s guilty.

An egomaniacal new co-host, a relentless gossip columnist who seems to have all the dirt (and a surprising informant), and Casey’s longstanding bad reputation: Laurie must face this and more to do what she believes is right, to once and for all prove Casey’s innocence—that is, if she’s innocent… The Sleeping Beauty Killer will keep you guessing until the very end.

The second thrilling novel in the New York Times bestselling Under Suspicion series following The Cinderella Murder, featuring intrepid television producer Laurie Moran as she investigates the case of a missing bride.

In present-day New York City, Laurie Moran realizes a missing bride is the perfect cold case for her investigative television series, Under Suspicion. She and her team set out to recreate the night of the disappearance at the Florida resort with Amanda's friends and family in attendance, hoping to shed new light on the mystery as the series has done in past episodes. With a jealous sister, playboy groomsmen, Amanda's former fianc now married to a bridesmaid, and rumors about the "beloved" bride herself, Laurie and Under Suspicion host Alex Buckley quickly realize everyone has a theory about why Amanda vanished into thin air.

One thing is certain: whoever was behind Amanda's disappearance plans to keep the truth hidden "until death do they part]]"

Эта смерть наделала много шума. Вирджиния Уэйк­линг была видной светской особой — одним из крупнейших спонсоров знаменитого нью-йоркского Метрополитен-музея. И вот во время вечера по сбору средств женщину сбросили с его крыши. Кто? Спустя три года на этот вопрос так и нет ответа. Дело как раз для Лори Моран, продюсера телешоу "Под подозрением", где сенсационно раскрываются давние преступления. Главный подозреваемый — Айван Грей, тренер и любовник Вирджинии, по возрасту гораздо моложе ее. Перед убийством он получил от Уэйклинг внушительную сумму на развитие своего спортивного бизнеса.

In this electrifying thriller, a rookie detective goes undercover on the
Internet dating scene to draw out a serial killer targeting single women
in Manhattan

When two young women are murdered on the streets of New York, exactly one year apart, Detective Ellie Hatcher is called up for a special assignment on the homicide task force. The killer has left behind a clue connecting the two cases to First Date, a popular online dating service, and Flann McIlroy, an eccentric, publicity-seeking homicide detective, is convinced that only Ellie can help him pursue his terrifying theory: someone is using the lure of the Internet and the promise of love to launch a killing spree against the women of New York City.

To catch the killer, Ellie must enter a high-tech world of stolen identities where no one is who they appear to be. And for her, the investigation quickly becomes personal: she fits the profile of the victims, and she knows firsthand what pursuing a sociopath can do to a cop--back home in Wichita, Kansas, her father lost his life trying to catch a notorious serial murderer.

When the First Date killer begins to mimic the monster who destroyed her father, Ellie knows the game has become personal for him, too. Both hunter and prey, she must find the killer before he claims his next victim--who could very well be her.

Expertly plotted and perfectly paced, Dead Connection advances Alafair Burke to the front ranks of American thriller writers.

Готовя новый выпуск телешоу «Под подозрением», посвященного давним нераскрытым преступлениям, Лори Моран берется за случай, который, казалось бы, «неформат» для ее передачи: пять лет назад из-под венца пропала невеста. Неизвестно даже, было ли совершено преступление. Может быть, женщину не убили, не держат в плену, и она абсолютно счастливо живет где-нибудь на другом конце света. Но горе матери, все эти годы живущей поисками дочери, убеждает создательницу шоу посвятить выпуск несостоявшейся свадьбе.

Там, где должно было пройти торжество, собираются ключевые фигуры отмененной церемонии. Среди них жених, которого многие считают главным подозреваемым: невеста завещала ему свое немалое состояние. С тех пор он успел жениться на ее подруге, страстно влюбленной в него еще с колледжа…

В новом захватывающем триллере от двух королев саспенса продюсер популярного криминального телешоу должна успеть раскрыть похищение племянника своего жениха – всего за несколько дней до их свадьбы. Лори и Алекс в предвкушении скорой свадьбы. Все должно быть просто чудесно. Однако за четыре дня до торжественной церемонии события приобретают самый мрачный оборот - бесследно пропадает семилетний племянник Алекса, Джонни. Еще утром мальчик весело играл на пляже, собирая ракушки, и с тех пор его никто не видел. День поисков не дал никаких результатов. А когда солнце опустилось над горизонтом, к берегу прибило одинокую доску для плавания, принадлежавшую Джонни… Все понимают, что с мальчиком могло случиться самое страшное. Если бы не одно "но"…

Подозреваемый отыскивается быстро. Элли немедленно проводит арест, однако чуть позже понимает: в этом деле что-то не так. Убийство девушки очень схоже с тремя другими преступлениями, совершенными около десяти лет назад. Все жертвы были молодыми женщинами, и у всех убийца отрезал волосы - в качестве сувенира. Детектив Хэтчер так увлекается расследованием, что невольно попадает в поле зрения психопата, стремящегося пополнить коллекцию жертв и их волос... "Поцелуй ангела" - захватывающий триллер о роскошной и опасной жизни ночного Нью-Йорка, о жестокости, справедливости и победе добра над злом.

Of the fifty-six bestsellers the “Queen of Suspense” Mary Higgins Clark published in her lifetime, Where Are the Children? was her biggest, selling millions of copies and forever transforming the genre of suspense fiction. In that story, a young California mother named Nancy Harmon was convicted of murdering her two children. Though released on a technicality, she was abandoned by her husband and became such a pariah in the media that she was forced to move across the country to Cape Cod, change her identity and appearance, and start a new life. Years later her two children from a second marriage, Mike and Melissa, would go missing, and Nancy yet again became the prime suspect—but this time, Nancy was able to confront the secrets buried in her past and rescue her kids from a dangerous predator.

Now, more than four decades since readers first met Nancy and her children, comes the thrilling sequel to the groundbreaking book that set the stage for future generations of psychological suspense novels. A lawyer turned successful podcaster, Melissa has recently married a man whose first wife died tragically, leaving him and their young daughter, Riley, behind. While Melissa and her brother, Mike, help their mom, Nancy, relocate from Cape Cod to the equally idyllic Hamptons, Melissa’s new stepdaughter goes missing. Drawing on the experience of their own abduction, Melissa and Mike race to find Riley to save her from the trauma they still struggle with—or worse.

Just like the original, Where Are the Children Now? keeps readers guessing and holding their breath until the very last page.
